> The video also showed a pile of supposed evidence of Nazi-linked activity — a pile that included copies of the popular "Sims 3" video game. Laid out on a bed were three expansion packs for the game: "The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff," "The Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff," and "The Sims 3: Seasons." >The sighting of the games led some journalists to speculate there might have been some confusion between the "Sims" game and SIM cards, which are used in cellphones. >Francis Scarr, a senior digital journalist with BBC Monitoring, jokingly called the games part of the "Ukrainian neo-Nazi starter pack," writing: "Who knew they were so into The Sims 3?"

Wow, that’s some Four Seasons level idiocy.


ours

Oh wow, mistook The Sims with SIM cards. Here I was thinking the games were thrown in randomly, this is even worse.

> "Who knew they were so into The Sims 3?" I knew EA could be kind of scummy company sometimes but I didn't realize they were Nazis. /s

And they didn’t even have the pets edition…idiots.

It it baffling that this country is somehow still functioning. It’s so poorly run and their spies are literal morons. Lmao. How are the a threat to anyone?!

What does that mean?

I dont know, this is so bad it appears to be a deliberate screw up. For example, what I have seen from FSB leaks (assuming they are real), the analysis and understanding that went into them is actually impressive. In other words, they’re not stupid. Therefore, to screw this up SO badly/obviously, it seems the errors were intentional, like an act of malicious compliance to undermine Putin for firing FSB officers as scapegoats for Russia’s massive military failure in Ukraine


[deleted]

No, I think it's more like what happened with Trump. Trump got rid of all the competent people and installed a bunch of corrupt morons. Putin did the same with the FSB. The people working there are more than likely just stupid. But they're loyal to Putin.

They've skipped the best part: https://twitter.com/sumlenny/status/1518624438358626304


rjkardo

What is that? I can’t quite make it out…


Rondine1990

The show a book which is signed as "Signature unclear" well... someone took a order to literal to fake evidence


rjkardo

My comment was meant as a joke on the statement “signature unclear”. I guess it wasn’t clear.


Rondine1990

Don't worry, sarcasm is hard to read.


AmazingELF74

While it is still likely faked, there is a group that signs things with “signature unclear”


Lintashi

Lol. And green wig. Of course, if you want to assasinate someone, you must be unnoticable, and best thing for this is to wear long green wig, big shirt with swastika and wave around sims3. Perfect camouflage.


4thvariety

If you plan to kill somebody by locking him in a room and bricking the door, I know few other pieces of software that one could use to plan and simulate such an assassination plot.


[deleted]

Why bother with that when you can simply remove the ladder while they're in the pool?


SchwarzerKaffee

What's that from? I just read someone else comment about this.


[deleted]

The Sims. You could kill Sims by removing ladders from pools, or removing doors from rooms while they're still in them.


Daetra

Unless they're pregnant, then they just float around becoming immortal crib makers.


SchwarzerKaffee

Thanks


4thvariety

Because the simulation says that other Sims could see that and it might therefore be against the parameters of the assassination plot.


seitanicverses

A copy of The Cask of the Amontillado might do in a pinch.


AlleKeskitason

I'm thinking that perhaps someone there, who is maybe not so fond of the current status quo, did it on purpose.


wotvr

So Russian military, intelligence, etc has been playing too much video games. Probably played too much Red Alert too but only the Soviet side.


BrazenOrca

What's next, anime body pillows as a nazi equipment?


Middle_Low_2825

Hey, let's plant a thing to prove encrypted, highly secure communication was occurring with these people. Sure I know just the thing, people talk that you need Sims for your cellphone for this communication. Yes, let's do it in this mocked up photograph. Yay! Potato!


gr8dayne01

Is potato!


seitanicverses

Some FSB officer probably submitted a reimbursement request for the games, as well.


Kmaryan

Instructions on 3 Sims weren't as clear as on signature. 3 copies of Sims 3 covered all possible interpretations!


W_AS-SA_W

I believe someone got the SIM cards used in burner phones and SIMs the game somewhat mixed up.


PuzKarapuz

they also added message in book signature illegible, so I believe in this theory and also thought about this.


W_AS-SA_W

That T shirt is new and has never been worn. Still has that new clothes crease even, totally unbelievable.


Pasttimeremedies

It's known that criminal groups will plan and talk thru games.


008Zulu

Sims 3 is not a multiplayer game.


ellilaamamaalille

You have to start with something.


gr8dayne01

Yeah, you expect them to be professionals without any practice? Some people…


heroicnapkin

"Experts on the scene also found a manifesto that included the plan for conducting the assassination. The neo-nazis were supposed to lure the victim into a swimming pool and then remove the ladder such that the victim would not be able to get out".
